Olavo de Carvalho

At 77 years old, Olavo de Carvalho physical status not available right now. We will update Olavo de Carvalho's height, weight, eye color, hair color, build, and measurements.

Olavo Luiz Pimentel de Carvalho GCRB (born 29 April 1947) is a Brazilian polemicist, self-educated scholar, literary critic, former astrologer, and journalist who has lived in Richmond, Virginia, since the 1990s, mainly writing columns for some of Brazil's main media outlets, such as the newspaper O Globo.

He began to post his overwhelmingly conservative and anti-communist views in the 2000s on personal blogs and social media.

Carvalho, a Brazilian public intellectual, has come to prominence in the late 2010s as the "intellective father of the new right" and Jair Bolsonaro's ideologue, a term he has condemned for frequently resorting to offensive ad hominem attacks.

His books and journals have spread conspiracy theories and unverified information, and he has been accused of disparaging hate speech (including antisemitism) and anti-intellectualism.

He positions himself as a modernity critic as a philosopher.

His research includes historical philosophy, the history of revolutionary movements, the Traditionalist School, and comparative religion.

Other scholars have criticized his convictions.

Personal life

Olavo de Carvalho died at the age of eight children and eighteen grandchildren.

Heloisa de Carvalho Martins Arriba, his father, accused him of occasional child mistreatment. All content was wrapped in a letter that was later posted on Facebook. Olavo had even pointed a pistol at one of his children's heads, according to the letter. Olavo also appeared on other reports that she shared three wives at the same time, including the suggestion that he had a polygamous affair. Her siblings and Olavo himself, who brought a lawsuit against her, denied the allegations, arguing that her letter "distances herself from any contact with reality by broadcasting outrageous lies and vile insults."

Carvalho was a member of Tariqa, Sufism's order, according to his father, but Sufism's order was never proven.

Olavo de Carvalho confessed to his sins to a Roman Catholic priest and was given the last rites before his death.

Professional career

Carvalho began as an astrologer in the 1980s, having learned it from, among other things, Argentine psychologist Juan Pablo César Müller. He wrote for many Brazilian journals and newspapers, including Bravo!, Primeira Leitura, Claudia, O Globo, Folha de S.Paulo (starting in February 1977 with an article about The Magic Flute in the "Folhetim" literary supplement), Época and Zero Hora.

Carvalho's website Maskless Media was born in 2002 (Máscara). It's regarded as a news media observatory. He appeared on BlogTalkRadio from 2006 to 2013. He was the host of True Outspeak. He wrote a weekly column for the Brazilian newspaper Diárcia do Comércio and taught philosophy in an online course to over 2,000 students as of 2019. He is believed to have read the works of key conservative thinkers of the 20th century, such as Eric Voegelin, are available to Portuguese-speaking readers. He wrote 32 books, many of which were collections of previously published texts, in addition to newspaper articles and several blog and social media posts.

Carvalho founded the Inter-American Institute for Philosophy, Government, and Social Thought in 2009 and served as its president. Through the Inter-American Institute, he collaborated with Ted Baehr, Paul Gottfried, Judith Reisman, Alejandro Pea Esclusa, and Stephen Baskerville. The institute closed in 2018, possibly due to allegations made by Olavo's former students to the institute's board that, among other things, he never stopped the secondary education and was not, as his profile showed, a former senior lecturer at the Catholic University of Paraná.
